From the reviews

i have not been able to attend the studio in Bishop. i did, however, attend an online class and it was great. Lauren is a fantastic teacher, not only extremely knowledgeable about yoga, but it's clear that she loves what she does, and really cares about her students.

I have taken classes at various yoga studios in Bishop and I have definitely enjoyed the classes at Sierra Shanti the best. They offer an incredible variety of types and levels of classes and events that that go beyond simply yoga. Lauren, the owner and one of the instructors is so dedicated and encouraging.

A world-class yoga studio with a big heart right in Bishop! I've been practicing yoga for 15 years and have taken hundreds of classes all over the county. Imagine my surprise to find such an incredible studio in little Bishop, California.

Your first tai chi class at Sierra Shanti Studio

Nervous about walking into a tai chi class for the first time? Almost everyone is, and good instructors expect beginners to come through the door. Here's what to know. What to expect: a typical first class is a gentle warm-up, then learning a few slow movements of the form, step by step — no pressure to get it perfect, and you can rest or sit whenever you need to. What to wear: loose, comfortable clothing you can move in, and flat, flexible shoes (some studios practice in socks or bare feet). What to bring: water, and that's about it — there's no equipment to buy. Arrive a few minutes early to say hello to the instructor and mention it's your first class. It comes together faster than you'd think — most people feel far more at ease by their second or third visit.

Tai chi is gentle and low-impact, but it's still exercise, and the health notes here are general information, not medical advice. If you have any injuries or health concerns, mention them to the instructor before class, and check with your doctor before starting a new exercise program.
